V70 P2 project. MOT pass.

[spacca]

I just want to get the the car through its MOT then go from there with the upgrades so here goes.
Please be patient with me.

[spacca]

some of you may recognize the car.

[spacca]

If anybody has any info on this car i would be very greatfull.
Bought this off Quaddy (i think) in 2012 and has been a great drive.

Anyway, things to do for MOT

1. new cat
2. new rear o2 sensor
3. new tyre.

That's it really.

fixed a few problems myself.

[WOODY T5]

Think someone t5d5 owned this

[spacca]

Can you spot the difference.
Tools used, 4 foot crowbar.
For all you suspension heads, this is non Nivomat right?

Sorry, photos out of sync.
Look up.

[spacca]

Also had to bodge rear bumper as you can see.
This is only temporary mind.
But might go for the RAT look on the outside to ease cost.

[M-R-P]

That's an S60R exhaust, that's why it's too short for the car.

Those are standard shocks, nivomat have a rubber boot covering the bottom half.

I've put a shout over on T5D5, see what replies I get.

Thanks for the exhaust info.
Will keep a look out for a V70R one.

[M-R-P]

Right, I just got a response from Tim on T5D5.

Your car wasn't mapped, nor was it tuned in any way other than the intercooler and a set of coilovers.

[M-R-P]

I'd recommend getting some extensions for your exhaust tips to bring them out another 4 inches

[jdavis]

Good luck in getting it all sorted


The vulture in me is saying if it doesn't make it through not and you break it, how much for front bumper?

And the FMIC

[spacca]

Hopefully it won't come to that but will keep you all informed if it comes to breaking it.
I actually like the look of the exhaust tip recessed slightly. I just need to lower it a little before I change the bumper.

Nice bumper. Is this a bumper off and 'R' or a custom made one?

[M-R-P]

R bumper mate.

[JamesT5]

R bumper mate.

Ooooow I want one! I wonder how much they cost to buy at the Main Stealer because I bet scrap ones are virtually unheard of.

[artfulflounder]

You bunch of vultures.lol
sure bunch isn't politically correct but flock, gaggle, brood. Who knows but bunch will do.

hope you can get those few bits sorted....can be a useful bunch here at times.

A few wanted ads may be in order see if anyones got anything hanging around.
